Don't confuse cleansing with charging and charging with consecration/blessing. It sounds to me like you need to just do a mass cleansing. To do that I would use salt water. Anything that is color fast will not be harmed. Take a large bowl and use whatever salt you like the most. If you wanted to take it a step further...you could use Spring water instead of tap water or you could boil the tap water to make it more pure. After cleansing this way, pat them dry and make sure they aren't very damp. Then you can smudge them all. Leave the smudge residue in place. As you actually go to USE the stones for whatever purpose, you can charge them with your energy by taking them out into the sunlight or moonlight. There are many ways to charge your stones and crystals and you'll have to tailor this to your needs and style. Some use their Athame or wand during this, some use certain oils or herbs. I don't use oils or herbs until the blessing of the items. I use my wand and either the sun or moon light or candles. For blessings....pay attention to your God/Goddess correspondences and your oil and herb correspondences. Combine these in a way that suits you as you actually USE the stones. So, in short....a mass cleaning with salt water and smudge, charge as they are used, and bless as they are used. Ya don't wanna charge or bless something and not use it for three months ya know?! /|\,S.
